Iโm pissed off at my Republican family back in North Carolina, several of whom came to my wedding, but who went right back and are voting for homophobes and acting like it doesnโt matter. It does matter and itโs time for the queers in this country to start saying so to their families. I think weโve all cut them too much slack for far too long.
Armistead MaupinI had been a storyteller by instinct all my life. I was that boring little kid who made the rest of his friends sit around the campfire and listen to his ghost stories. It's been very much a part of my makeup.
Armistead MaupinOh, Mona, we're all damned fools! Some of us just have more fun with it than others. Loosen up, dear! Don't be so afraid to cry . . . or laugh, for that matter. Laugh all you want and cry all you want and whistle at pretty men in the street and to hell with anybody who thinks you're a damned fool!
Armistead MaupinMona knocked at the wrong time. โUhโฆyeahโฆwait a minute, Mona -- โ Mona shouted through the door. โRoom service, gentlemen. Just pull the covers up.โ Michael grinned at Jon. โMy roommate. Brace yourself.โ Seconds later, Mona burst through the doorway with a tray of coffee and croissants. โHi! Iโm Nancy Drew! You must be the Hardy Boys!
